CELTIC EAGLE SERIAL NO: CK3 PRICE: 24 SIZE: 9.2'' X 7.2'' Design inspired by a carpet page from the Book of Durrow. (Gospel manuscript from the second half of the 7th century). The eagle is usually the symbol of the Evangelist John, but in the Book of Durrow it symbolises the Evangelist Mark (usually depicted by an image of a lion). The design uses a variety of interlace which is thought to have anapotropiac function because of its percieved ability to trap evil. Such pages could have been intended to protect the holy text as they are found at the beginning of each Gospel.
